Hello, blog, what's up?
So, I have some good news. I've finally got hired for a job. It's not the best of jobs and there are times where it can be hard, but it is a job. It's mostly on weekends and sometimes I may not be working on the weekends, but that's okay I guess. No biggie to me as long as I have. The job is giving out free samples at Meijer and trying to sell the products you are sampling. That's a lot of talking to people, which is hard for me, but at least it will help me with my people skills. By the way, my title is Sales Advisor.
I'm so happy that I've finally gotten one, especially after two years.
As far as I know, I'm working tomorrow from 11 am to 5:30 pm.
Hexx stayed the night that I had to work, but she didn't have her car so mom had escort her to our house (her car is having issues). I wasn't that good of a hostess I guess because I was looking up information on what to do about a car and the prices for them. The night before she went home I had to go to bed early because it was my first day at work. I had a good day until I got home. The reason? Well, you see, mom works third shift and since I don't have a vehicle or a license yet mom had to take her home before she laid down. Plus, my sister and I had to go to that Father/Daughter Banquet within the next 2 to 3 hours, so we didn't have that much time to pussyfoot around.
Now, things went sour when I told her she had to get off the game to get ready because mom had to go to sleep soon. She then got an attitude a little.
Then, my sister reminded her to pick up her cheese wrappers from the night before. My sister was even nice about it and Hexx got an attitude at her for no reason at all. And mom was sitting at the table in the same area. Not a good idea to do that. Mom was pissed off about Hexx's attitude problem. That kind of made me mad too, Hexx's attitude. That was not necessary at all. So, now she can't stay the night anymore.
Plus, when she dropped her off she didn't once say thank you to mom for the ride. Very rude.
Anyways, another friend of mine (who I will call Chef) finally can talk to me over the phone. He's still getting his stuff together right now, but he's got his cell phone more situated than it was a year ago. Bad thing is though is that he's working himself sick, literally. Hopefully things start getting better for him so he doesn't have to make himself sick from overworking anymore.
Well, I'm going to let you go, blog. I have to work as far as I know tomorrow and I need to get some sleep.

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman's Scorn...
Well...Hexx stopped by to drop off my sister's Dirge of Cerberus game. It was an awkward meeting to say the least...for me personally anyways.
I think she's mad at me. Oh yeah, you don't know about that, do you? Hm, well I told her I was still upset with her not paying me back and that was part of the reason why I don't want to go with her to the concert. I told her that I expected to be paid back in cash and that's what I thought I agreed to, also saying that I was not okay with her paying me back in the form of footing my half of the hostel/hotel stay.
She looked at me like I slapped her across the face. Maybe I did, but I really didn't try to get her mad at me. Though, in the back of my mind I knew she would.
Besides that look of being slapped across the face she said that she can't always pay me back in cash (I didn't say anything about the few times she had money to spare after getting what she needed/necessary, that would've only made things worse). Also, she asked how could that not count for paying me back (the footing my half of the bill) when she would be paying for the whole thing. I simple said that I did not agree to that and I still expected to be paid back in full (I also did not mention that the trip was supposed to be my graduation gift). Her reply was "we'll talk about it" and she went quiet in anger and astonishment.
Even if she did pay me back so I could go with her I think I wouldn't go, as much as I would want to. I think it would be best for me to save up money for a car and insurance. That's kind of more important, no, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT. With the way I budgeted my estimates in money I should be able to get the car at least.
So that's why it was awkward today. It's been a few days, but I think she's still mad at me. Plus, we didn't go see the fireworks like we had planned either.
I think our friendship is having another fallout again, but this time might be the breaking off point. We may not last much longer as friends, which saddens me. I don't want it to, but time changes people and we were completely different people to begin with. Hopefully we can patch things up after a few weeks...
Oh, and that Father/Daughter Dance thing I'm going to with my dad on the 25th is going to be torture. He picked out of the two dresses that I was going to wear the one that I would get hot in instead of the one that would not make me sweat. Why? Because the one that is all black, thicker material, and has long sleeves doesn't have polka dots.
Really? REALLY?!
Just because it has polka dots you want me to wear the one that I'll be too hot in? Ugh! I'm wearing the polka dot one, I am not sweating my butt off just for this dance thing.
Just...no. No.
And apparently, dress slacks, a blouse, and dress shoes are casual wear and not formal. That argument lasted almost 5 minutes. For my sister, that is as formal as she's going to get.
In my opinion, I find it to be formal, not casual.
Dad, you're a jerk.
Time for bed. Night!

Oh Summer...
Hello, Blog. What's up?
Summer has started, but I have been unsuccessful in obtaining a job (as usual). It's getting real discouraging so I'm starting to slow down the search. Mom's getting on my case a little bit about it because she thinks I'm not trying hard enough. I won't argue with that. From the outsider's eye it does look like that, however, for someone who doesn't like rejection and talking with people it's not bad.
A friend of mine (who I will call Chibi) has been the staying the night for almost a week. She's got problems going on. Apparently, she may be pregnant. I won't give details about it, but it is a messier situation than it already sounds like.
Now Hexx, she's got things going on too! One of her parents are ill and trying to fight it off before things get worse. She's not handling it well. She's crying a lot and when she's talking about her problems she's unintentionally putting stress on me as well. And it's not helping me at all, especially since I have a little bit of bitterness and anger towards her. She doesn't know it, but I do. She's so sensitive that I don't want to say anything because it could break the friendship we've had for years.
That bitterness and anger I'm referring to is of not getting paid back. Back in the summer of last year we went to a concert and she was supposed to pay for half of the stay at the hostel. It was $70 and she said she'd pay me back because she didn't have the money to pay her half. Thinking she would I agreed to it, she said she'd do it and she's reliable and I've known her for a long time and I trust her to keep to her word.
Bad idea. It's been a year and I have yet to see the $35 she owes me. She's gotten paid by her campus job, so she had gotten checks. She could've paid me back, but spent it on other things (mostly things she wanted like a $30-$40 on a CD (shipping included) she bought online from Japan). When she was forced to transfer to my college for the semester because of grades she received a fair amount from her refund check, more than enough to pay me back. Did she? No, she said "she didn't have the money" when she had over $700, but she had enough money to buy a DVD from Japan that costed $100 (shipping included).
What the hell? That's some bullshit right there. I took her word for paying me back and I pretty much get slapped in the face. And you want to know the kicker? That concert and the stay was supposed to be covered by her because it was a GRADUATION PRESENT! Bullshit I say.
Oh! And now That artist we saw last year may be coming back to Chicago and she wants to go. I thought "maybe she'll pay me back at last!" Nope. She said herself that she's not paying me back, not with money like we agreed but she says she'll pay for the hostel/hotel stay. NO! NONONO!!! I DID NOT AGREE TO THAT!!! She just practically said that I'm not getting my money back, but she thinks it's okay because she's paying our stay this time and she just laughed it off. I'm sorry, but that money she owes me is a lot. It's not just $3, it's $35.
As much as I don't want to make her mad (because I hate having friends be mad at me) I'm going to have set my foot down on this one. I just can't have her walking over me like this anymore and I can't be submissive with her anymore. She's not trying to walk over me, I know it's unintentional, but she's doing it and I'm becoming bitter with her.
Anyways, onto some more decent news.
I've began drawing again and I'm thinking about making a comic of Prordville (made of Prords). Yeah, I know. What the hell are Prords? That...I will not tell you! However, I have made some new characters and developed more of the ones that were neglected. Some I ended up falling in love with. Some characters have gotten revamped. Some of those characters will be DA, just like the comic will most likely be if I'm comfortable with that.
Sadly though, I haven't been able to write, only draw. And I have this great adventure story idea in my head. How sad...
I haven't been playing much of ToA either because of my carpal tunnel, but I'm 30 hours into it and one-third of the way through the game. YAY! I also got Devil May Cry recently and a new copy of Final Fantasy X since that was too scratched up to do anything. DMC is okay, I guess. I think the only reason I think that is because I'm not used to those types of games and I'm more into RPGs.
By the way, I'm deciding whether to buy a PS3 first or a SNES. What do you think? I already have one I'm leaning towards though...
Before I let you go because of time I have left at the library here's a phrase I cam e up with while thinking of one of my characters and their lover:
"Whether we fly or walk through the flames, at least I'll be holding your hand." - myself/OC (original character) Brian
